INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION Mississippi’s 2026 Section 303(d) List of Impaired Water Bodies fulfills the state's obligation with respect to §303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act to develop a listing of the state’s impaired waters. MDEQ provides two reports, this §303(d) list and a §305(b) report. These are not physically integrated, but the lists are meant to have a one-to-one relationship in that all of the water body segments found in the §305(b) report listed in category 5 are also listed in this document in Table 9 below. These basins are shown on the map on page 4. 1. Big Black River Basin 2. Coastal Streams Basin 3. North Independent Streams Basin 4. Pascagoula River Basin 5. Pearl River Basin 6. South Independent Streams and Lower Mississippi River Basins 7. Tennessee River Basin 8. Tombigbee River Basin 9. Yazoo River and Upper Mississippi River Basins
